Kerry's life was going great...until her drinking messed everything up. Cut off from her soon-to-be ex-husband, and having blocked her best friend, Siobhan, she decides to become the caretaker at a remote hotel in the Catskill Mountains. She hopes that will give her the time, and space, to finish writing the book that is supposed to change her life. But as soon as she arrives, things start going wrong. Namely, finding a trashed room and seeing a woman's hand poking out of the snowbank. 

But when Kerry finally gets help, the body is gone. 

This story starts initially in Kerry's perspective, but then switches between Siobhan and Kerry throughout the rest of the story. 

This story has a lot of tension and kept my attention. I finished this one day and it was easy to keep reading on, wanting to see what would come next. 

That said...this story wasn't really for me. There were too many things happening. It felt like the author took many different tropes and tried to shove them in this story, and it became disjointed. The setting alone set the tone, so the little red herrings felt obvious and it started to become silly. There is the mysterious character in the woods, a spurned ex, a young teenage girl, the guy into S&M, a friend popping up out of the blue, and a betrayal. It was disappointing because, without all of the extra fluff, it would have been a great story. 

Another aspect of this story that made it challenging is that none of the characters are likable. I didn't find myself caring what happened to them or even wanting to see them redeem themselves. We primarily see Kerry and her transgressions but Siobhan isn't much better. 

While this story wasn't for me, you may enjoy it if stories where the twists are twisting and the turns are turning is your thing, then this popcorn thriller may be for you.
